New FREE polymer clay tutorial - "Billowed-Screened" technique project!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being a part of Polyforms' contributing designers group, I have been called for an exciting technique to be released on the net.
The only one request was: “Please work with Sculpey III clay.”

Being a newcomer with this particular brand of clay (never dealt with it prior to this project) I instantly began working with it, examining its qualities.

Silk screens are also fresh to me. From the time I received my test set from Polyform, my fingertips were tickling to check these out.
Soon after a couple of tries, a brand new project was created mixing the two - silk screens and Sculpey III clay -An attractive kitchen utensil holder.

This particular project could be modified into countless additional purposes - different holders (studio equipment, cosmetics brushes) as well as big statement jewellery, for example bracelets!

Save the date and get your bikini ready; “Meraki in Mani” retreatGreece, October 5-9th, 2015~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brocade Collection purses class, Greece October 2015 workshops

I am pleased to announce that I will be teaching two half days courses in the polymer clay retreat “Meraki in Mani”, occurring in Stoupa, Greece, organized by Ms. Lee O’Connor.

The 5 day retreat will take place on October 5-9, 2015.

The purpose of this kind of retreat is friends working together making time for what we all enjoy, spreading knowledge, approaches and creativity and having new materials and tools to experience with along with time off to explore and enjoy the location.

2014 was creative, but in a different way.
I took a pause from the intensive race and filled my time with changes: New eating habits, sports habits, sleeping habits.
I started thinking of my second half of life.

Do we ever find time to take care of your health? Physical and mental.
Now is the time.

I've made a change building my new website from scratch, learned while making (a lot of) mistakes.
Making mistakes means we are doing new things, trying new things, learning, changing.

In my studio I am learning to work with new materials, new techniques while experimenting with my known favourite ones, expanding, researching.
Taking the time to enjoy creativity.

Let us welcome the new year with optimism and hope. :)

Jiro's perfect polymer clay animal rings

My recent actions to save animals drew my eyes to Jiro Miura's work.
This Japanese and self-taught artist made an impressive series of rings carefully sculpturing realistic looking animals.
The items are very popular and his rings are sold under his business name "Count Blue". He is mentioned in various blogs and websites and his spectacular perfect work is to admire.http://countblue.tumblr.com

drawing with strings

SilverPepper23 Russian artist was featured here years ago. Back then she was creating tiny little flowers made into jewellery. She is still using beautiful flowers in her jewellery but I came across her string jewellery where she takes colourful thin clay strings and create a full scene out of colours. Beautiful.
She is a master with wire to wrap stones and jewels.https://www.flickr.com/photos/36999389@N05/14833118682/

Do you also wish your yarn ball wouldn't run around the house or get stuck under the sofa while you knit?
Here is a fun tutorial by Heather Painchaud to create your own yarn bowl for your yarn ball!
If we can't eat from polymer clay bowls, we can knit with it!http://733blog.com/2014/03/diy-yarn-bowl/
